With that said, she does at times fall in love with her own rhetoric, and confuse the strategic objective she is pursuing with the truth. Witness the following passage:
He reminds Europe that for all her pain she has been invincible. "From the Argonne Forest to the Anzio beachhead, conflicts in Europe have drawn the blood of millions, squandering and shattering lives across the earth. There are thousands, thousands of monuments in parks and squares across my country to young men of 18 and 19 and 20 whose lives ended in battle on this continent. Ours is the first generation in a hundred years that does not expect and does not fear the next European war. And that achievement--your achievement--is one of the greatest in modern times."
And so we know peace is winnable. We see this in the rise of the European Community, which is not seen by America as a rival but as living proof that "old hostilities" can be ended.
Europe isn't invincible; she exists, because America saved her. And the European Comunity/Union is a sign not of strength, but of weakness. The nation-states of Western Europe have lost all their vitality. They have not found peace so much as exhaustion, like the much-married playboy who becomes a "good husband" to his fourth wife, because due to advanced age and infirmities, he no longer has the vigor for fooling around.
I love both but they each think that I only love her. Hehehehehehe.
What you're missing is that it's not an either-or choice. We can have "passion" for *both* ladies. :-)
With plenty left over for Laura Ingraham...
At seventy-one, she may be a bit young for me, but she can park her slippers under my bed any day of the week.
